Whole Lotta Louvre

With apologies to Led Zepplin here's a update on progress with the 2nd WHR service carr.

I've been working on the second bodyside - the ugly one - with the generator compartment and its louvre doors...

Here's the real thing...



And here's the model...



Each of the slats of the louvre doors has been cut from strip, shaped and chamfered, and glued in place. There's 17 of them on each side. That's a lot of louvres.

As I've said before, I don't do rivet counting, and in this case I don't do louvre logging, so there may be a few less of them than on the real thing but what matters to me is whether I've captured the look and the feel of the real thing.

Do let me know what you think
